Ok. My game is set up with all available leagues from Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, under a large database. I'll post the first five :eek: seasons.
2006/2007 - Eastleigh F.C. - English Conference National:
Battle against relegation was the spread expectation for this season. With the money we got during last season's good campaign, we managed to sign eleven players, for a total of £18k. Two players left Eastleigh for £2k.
The team was pretty weak for Conference National standards, and we spent most of the season in the relegation zone. A very good run of form during the last 10 games saw us climb to 20th position, seven points ahead of the first relegated team, Burton. Season was good, overall, as it helped me see who's good enough to Conference National, and gave some experience to my overall young squad.
Conference National - 20th: Won 13 Drn 9 Lst 24 For 43 Ag 71 G.D. -28 Pts 48
FA Cup: Doncaster (L1) 4-1 Easteligh - 1st Round
FA Trophy: Eastleigh 0-1 Salisbury - 2nd Qual. Round
2005/2006 - Eastleigh F.C. - English Conference South:
Both board and fans expected the team to fight bravely against relegation. The squad had some potential and quality, but was nothing exciting. With no transfer funds, we only brought a D/WB L on a free and offloaded a veteran DC, also for nothing.
The team did very well during the whole season, and although we were never a menace to Weymouth's marching towards the title, we did a lot better than the other teams in Conference South, finishing in 2nd. We beat Havant & Waterlooville 1-0 aggregate in the play-off semis, and comfortably beat Eastbourne Borough in the final by 2-0, securing ourselves a promotion.
Conference South - 2nd: Won 22 Drn 12 Lst 8 For 69 Ag 37 G.D. +32 Pts 78
FA Cup: Stafford Rangers (ECN) 2-0 Easteligh - 4th Qual. Round
FA Trophy: Gravesend (CON) 1-0 Eastleigh - 3rd Round
2007/2008 - Eastleigh F.C. - English Conference National:
Again, the team was expected to battle against relegation. We brought ten players for a total of £8k, and six players left Eastleigh, with the club receiving £26k.
With some strenghtening, the team managed to do very well this season, specially during the first 10 matches, after which we were leading the table. Form went back to normality after that, and we managed to finish in a respectable (to our standards) 11th place. Some players did fine this season, but the squad definetly needs improvements in some key areas.
Conference National - 11th: Won 21 Drn 9 Lst 16 For 68 Ag 57 G.D. +11 Pts 72
FA Cup: Shrewsbury (CON) 4-1 Easteligh - 4th Qual. Round
FA Trophy: Boston United (CON) 1-0 Eastleigh - 2nd Qual. Round Rep
2009/2010 - Eastleigh F.C. - English Conference National:
Fighting against relegation was once more expected. For the first time, we got players from our youth "academy". Five guys were promoted. Eastleigh signed seven players for a total of £6k. Thirteen players left the club, for a total of £1.9M.
As expected by me, the team did superbly during the season, fighting for the title until the last matchday. Unfortunately, we were beaten 2-0 by Halifax that day, and they were the champions. We lost 4-1 aggregate to Aldershot in the play-off semis, having to play in Conference South one more season. The money we got should let us strenghten the squad and fight for the title next season.
Conference National - 3rd: Won 22 Drn 11 Lst 13 For 81 Ag 55 G.D. +26 Pts 77
FA Cup: Cambridge (L2) 1-0 Easteligh - 2nd Round
FA Trophy: Eastleigh 0-3 Aldershot (CON) - 3rd Round
2008/2009 - Eastleigh F.C. - English Conference National:
Once more, we were expected to fight the good fight. I hoped we could fight for a play-off spot, after last season's campaign. The arrival of eight players for a combined value of £75k supported that belief. Eleven players left for a total of £160k.
The team started pretty well, but some long-term injuries to key players saw our team's form and morale drop, and we finished in 17th spot. We were never in danger of relegation, though, since we ended the season 13 points ahead of Stevenage. Apart from the injury crisis, the team did very well during the season, which made me hope Eastleigh might be able to go up the next season.
Conference National - 17th: Won 16 Drn 10 Lst 20 For 76 Ag 68 G.D. +8 Pts 58
FA Cup: Kettering (CON) 2-0 Easteligh - 4th Qual. Round
FA Trophy: Halesowen (ECS) p2-2 Eastleigh - 3rd Qual. Round Rep
LDV Vans Trophy: Cheltenham (L2) 6-4 Eastleigh - 1st Round
